This procurement is classified under agricultural and horticultural services, with an approximate budget of £1,000. The procurement method is open, and the tender period closes on 12 July 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 2 September 2019 and conclude by 30 September 2019. Businesses are encouraged to submit fixed price quotations to develop a Tree Strategy for the garden, which includes surveying around 260 trees and freestanding espaliers while considering existing health and safety protocols regarding tree tagging. This tender presents excellent opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, particularly those with expertise in horticulture, landscape surveying, and environmental management. Companies that can demonstrate prior experience in tree surveys, biodiversity assessments, and conservation projects will be well-suited to compete for this contract, allowing them to expand their portfolios and engage in public sector projects that contribute to the preservation of local heritage sites. ## Notice Saffron Walden Town Council requires a fixed price quotation for a tree survey at Bridge End Garden in Saffron Walden CB10 1BT of approximately 260 trees. In addition, there are freestanding espaliers in the Walled Garden that need plotting and surveying. Fruit trees against the walls do not need surveying. The purpose of the survey is to develop a Tree Strategy for this historic garden and identify Root Protection Areas to help plan possible improvements to the path system and to assess future impact of root systems on structures and historic walls etc. The trees were surveyed in 1999 and a DWG file will be made available of the plan of the survey. In 2016 a volunteer made an inventory of the trees and prepared the attached schedule. The position of trees has been updated on the DWG file but tree canopies and actual and potential root spread were not updated. There is a complication on the numbers in that each year there is a health and safety check on the trees. The surveyor picks up trees of interest and often adds a new tag. Some trees have two numbers and some have one. For insurance reasons the trees identified as part of the H&S survey need to keep their numbers. All trees should be given new numbers with a numbered tag and then the tree numbers should be marked up clearly on the plan.
